Chương 14: Cooperation

"Er — —" Su Jin got up and stretched her back in satisfaction. Seeing that the market was still bustling, she happily carried the basket on her back and went home.

This time, her income was just over 3 taels, enough to pay off the small landlord. After buying the fabric materials as usual, she returned home to have lunch with her family.

"I'll go pay the money in the afternoon, and we'll even have to pay off our debts." She announced it to her family.

"That's great!" The little sister clapped and the second brother also smiled foolishly. His mother looked at her with gratitude. "It's been hard on my Jin'er."

She quickly reacted and took down her mother's palm. Looking at the criss-crossing wrinkles and wounds on it, she looked up at Meng Qin and said, "It's no trouble at all. In the future, we will have a better life. It's so good that you can't even imagine it."

"Mother only hopes that you can be well. It's enough for us to have a warm meal together." Mother said so.

For an ordinary person like him, eating until their clothes are full and their families are happy, this might be their greatest happiness. But Su Jin knew that what she wanted to bring to them was far more than just these, but now that she said it out loud, it was laughable. For Su Jin, acting now was the most important thing.

After the meal, Su Jin roasted for a while. Seeing that the weather outside was getting colder, she pulled out an old cotton-padded jacket and reluctantly put it on.

"Next month I'm going to find a time to make you some winter clothes." Mother said as she looked at it.

Su Jin nodded her head. Indeed, her family's things were a bit old, and the cotton inside was old. It was both hard and warm, and since she had already earned quite a bit of money, she naturally had to get some good clothes for her family.

Also, this year's New Year is going to be a bit more extravagant. she thought as she walked.

She did not know where the Dai Residence was, so she asked for directions as she walked out of the city, following the directions given by the townspeople.

After exiting the green stone gate of the memorial archway, his vision suddenly brightened. It was already the beginning of winter, and all of the crops outside the town had been harvested, leaving behind only an empty field. It was wrong to call it empty, for the ground was covered with cut stalks of grain, and some weeds that had been removed, which the wise peasants had left to rot in the ground, in order to make the land more fertile in the coming year.

The air was filled with the unique scent of the autumn and winter seasons. The cold air carried with it the smell of dried wheat straw. It was cold and fresh.

After a while, he saw a large house in the distance. It stood in the middle of the flat field, connected to the main road by two carriages. Su Jin looked at the house that had entered for who knows how many times. She couldn't help but sigh at the Dai family's extravagance.

Although they seemed rather close, they still had to walk for about a quarter of an hour before they arrived.

As Su Jin walked closer, she saw two servants standing at the door with their hands folded. Seeing Su Jin walk over, she said, "Stop, what are you doing?"

Su Jin politely said, "Brothers, I am here to pay back the 2 taels of silver I owed your family's Young Master yesterday."

"Yesterday?" The two servants looked at each other, and one of them took a closer look at her appearance.

"Are you Miss Su?" he asked.

Su Jin nodded.

"Oh, my Young Master has instructed that if Miss Su is here, please enter." He opened the door and invited Su Jin in.

Su Jin carefully entered the room and looked at her surroundings.

In front of him was a wide courtyard, with a shadow wall at the entrance, carved with some flowers, plants, and cranes in the shape of turtles. On the ground, the bluestone tiles were arranged neatly, and it was extremely flat.

Passing through the image wall, he saw another entrance. From here, he could see that the buildings inside the courtyard were all in the elegant southern style. There were two corridors connecting the three sides of the building, but the entrance to the courtyard was at the other end.

"Miss Su can just follow Grandma Zhao. She'll guide you to see the young master." That servant found an old granny, whispered a few words to her, and then said to Su Jin.

Su Jin agreed naturally and followed behind Grandma Zhao. She felt that the Dai Residence was indeed huge. She even saw a few small ponds among them, as if they were connected by living water.

When they arrived outside a small courtyard, Grandma Zhao told Su Jin to stand there and notify the others herself. After a while, she came over and said, "Miss, the young master is inside. You can go in."

"Alright, thank you grandma." Su Jin thanked him.

Entering the circular door, Su Jin saw Dai Zixian at first glance. He was sitting on the porch with a table in front of him and a small stove on the table. There was something like a cup on the table.

She walked over, took out some silver and said, "Young Master Dai, I'm here to pay you back. Here's two taels of silver." She placed the silver on the table, and the two pieces of silver hit the table with a crisp sound.

Dai Zi Shi slowly drank his tea and put down his cup. He did not care about the silver and said to her, "Sit."

Su Jin did not hold back and sat down. She reached out her hand towards the small stove and heated it.

Dai Zi Wu handed her a cup of tea and she took it as well, drinking it all in one gulp. She felt a scalding heat warm her organs, making her entire body feel comfortable.

"Actually, the reason I let you in is because I have one more thing to ask." Dai Zi Shi saw her reaction and asked without batting an eyelid.

"What is it?" Su Jin raised her eyebrows.

"It's about that loom. After I came back, I looked through the books for a long time, but I didn't find anything like it. I wonder where this lady got it from." Dai Zi Shu lowered his eyes and asked slowly.

Su Jin replied very quickly, "I changed this myself. It's not in the book."

"I didn't expect it to be a work of a girl, no wonder —" He seemed to realize something.

Su Jin just smiled and didn't reply.

He thought for a while and seemed to react. He then poured tea into the teapot and said, "Actually, I have one more thing I want to do. This is something that will benefit both you and I. I don't know if this lady is willing to do it."

"Please speak, Young Master Dai." Su Jin was slightly curious.

"It's like this. Recently, I wanted to set up a caravan, everything is almost ready. However, there are some difficulties when it comes to transporting goods. The caravan had just been set up and it was inevitable that there would be some small scale goods that could not be transported too big, and the other things in the town could not get much profit or benefit, and that day when I saw the girl's cloth, I privately understood the girl's cloth production and found out that it was a very good product, and I wonder if lady would be willing to sell most of the cloth you weave to me, naturally, the price will not be too bad for the girl. "

"A caravan?" Su Jin was stunned, then her mind started to work.
